I personally started with this forum and the Intel manuals, I guess the processors would be generally the same, they would differ in some cases, but most of the stuff is the same. You will need to go to the web site and search for a manual.

Check your local book store (or library, if you can't afford it) for a copy of The Indispensable PC Hardware Book by Hans-Peter Messmer. It gives an excellent, if rather dense, explanation of how the CPU and most of the common peripherals work.

You may want to check the Books and Links thread for more sources as well.
